How to Record Screen on iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows?

Are you wondering how to record videos of your device’s screen? If yes, then you have come to the right place. Suppose you want to make a tutorial video for your YouTube channel, or want to upload your gameplay or anything to engage your audience, then you must know how to capture a video of your device’s screen.

You may want to install a third-party application to record your display, but do you know that your device contains a hidden feature of screen recording? Yes, some OS indeed provide preinstalled screen recorders.

Recording Screen on Windows Devices

Yes, your Windows 10 indeed has its screen recorder.  It is a hidden feature on your Windows 10 PC. To get it, navigate to the Xbox app, which is a preinstalled app. To open it, hit the Start key and then search “Xbox.” Now hit the Start + G keys together on your keyboard.

There you can hit the Start recording button to start your screen recording to stop the recording, press Start + Alt + R keys together on your keyboard. The video will be automatically saved to your Videos folder, and the video will be in MP4 format.

You can also tweak its settings by simply logging into the Xbox app. There you have to go to “Game DVR” options. You will have options to change the settings according to your choice. The Settings doesn’t allow you to customize the output/saved recordings folder.  However, you will be able to choose the video quality, enable/disable audio recordings, or set a limit for video length.

Sadly, not every Windows 10 device supports this feature because your PC must have a video card to record screen. The video card should support one of the below encoders:

Nvidia NVENC

AMD VCE

Intel Quick Sync H.260

If your Windows PC does not have one of these video cards, then you might be unable to use this feature. You can go for other third party screen recorders for Windows.

Recording Screen on a Mac

If you have a Mac, then there is a built in app for this purpose. The app is QuickTime Player and you can use it to record your Mac screen. You only need to open this app, and further process is straightforward.

If your Mac has macOS Mojave, then the recording process is even more straightforward. You only need to hit the “Shift+ ⌘ + 5” keys together on your keyboard, and the screen recording interface will appear on your device just after pressing those keys. The interface will have all controls that are needed to record your device screen.

Recording Screen on iOS Devices

Screen recording is one of the best features of the iPhone and iPad. No need to install any additional app to record the screen of your device.

Head to the “Settings” then go to “Control Center,” and after that, go to “Customize controls.”

Once you get there, find the “Screen Recording” option and then press the “Plus” button located next to it.  

Now the feature is enabled and you can access it anytime by dragging your finger down to upward direction on your iOS device screen.

If you own an iPhone X or newer, or any device which has iOS 12 or later, then you will have to swipe up and down on your device screen to access the screen recorder.

Then you will see a Recording button, tap or hold it for a while to get recording controls.

Now hit the “Start Recording” button and then your device will count to 3 and then screen recording will start automatically.

Go to your Control Center and then hit the stop button. After that press the “Stop” button.

Your recording will be saved to your storage, and you can easily access it from your Photos app.

Recording Screen of Your Android Device

Android Q will have built-in screen recording feature, but current Android versions don’t provide a built-in screen recorder as Apple devices do.

Android Q is not officially released yet, but if you have installed Android Q Beta on your device, then you can use its in-built screen recorder. See the below instructions to use the screen recorder on your Android Q phone:

Head to settings and then navigate to ‘About phone.’

Press seven times repeatedly on the “serial number” of your device.

This will unlock the Developer Mode, which will give you access to some hidden features.

Now go to the main settings page and then open “Developer options.”

Head to “Feature flags” and then locate the flag labeled as “settings_screenrecord_long_press.” Toggle the switch located next to it and your screen recorder will be enabled.

You can now use it any time by holding your power button and choosing start recording option.

How to Setup and See Twitch Comments from your PlayStation VR

Game streaming is one of the biggest things that gamers like to do after playing. Therefore, Twitch is a great place for them, where they get a good response from the viewers, especially beginners. Twitch also allows both of them to interact with each other in real-time. Doing so from a PlayStation console is one thing, but when it comes to a PlayStation VR headset the same gets a bit complicated.

Playing or watching games on a VR is really fun, either it’s a Sparc workout or Star Trek: Bridge Crew. However, there are several features that are still lacking in PSVR broadcast settings, and the biggest one is viewing comments while playing. This problem mostly happens in the previous version of PSVR. You could not view what viewers are saying to you while you’re playing. But, with the newer version of PS4 5.0 and PSVR 3.1, you can set your PS4 console to display the messages on the screen while playing. Here is how to set up and see Twitch comments from your PlayStation VR.

Setting up PS4 and PSVR

At the very first, you have to make sure that your PS4 console and PSVR headset have the right software. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use the feature and see Twitch comments. If you aren’t sure, go to your PlayStation 4 settings and download if there an update is available. Your PS4 must be running on firmware 5.0 or newer, and the latest version is 6.72. After you update your console, you need to set up your PSVR headset. It also must be installed with 3.1 updates or any newer. Once you make sure that both of your devices have the required version of the software, go ahead with the below steps to start setup your console and start streaming.

Setting up PS4 console to see Twitch comments from PlayStation VR

Note: All these steps will have to be done on your PlayStation 4 console.

1.   Confirm that your console and VR headset is running on 5.0 and 3.1 or newer software version.

2.   Now, launch the game you want to stream to Twitch.

3.   Then click the ‘Share’ button on your Move or another connected controller. Doing so brings up the Share window on the screen, with the available streaming services that you can choose.

4.   Select ‘Twitch’ and proceed to the next screen where you can choose to display your viewer’s message and display your messages to them.

5.   Select “Display message to Spectators and Spectators’ Comments” option from the upper right corner. Make sure its box is checked. If you want to use audio messaging while broadcasting, then also check the box of ‘Include Microphone Audio in Broadcasts.’

6.   Now, open the ‘Advanced settings’ by clicking the ‘Option’ button. The voice messages and community settings will be done from advanced settings.

7.   Set up voice messages and community settings from the Advanced settings screen.

8.   Check all the settings you’ve done once again.

9.   When you’re all set, ‘Start Broadcasting.’

Once you set up your PS4 and PSVR perfectly, you’ll be able to see the Twitch comments on your PlayStation VR headset. The messages will itself popup with the name of the person sending the message. Now, talk to your followers and answer their questions while playing.

MCU’s The Eternals: Release Date, Characters, Cast and Plot

MCU’s phase four is going to bring its most awaited movie “The Eternals.” In the film, you will see several superhumans with special powers and abilities. The Eternals come from a unique human species which is known as Celestials. The Eternals was created by Jack Kirby, a comic book innovator in 1976. The film will be directed by Chloe Zhao and will be a part of Phase four. The movie will put life into comic book characters. Let’s see what we know about the film.

The Eternals: Latest Updates & News

The most recent news about the movie is that Gemma Chan is going to join the cast of The Eternals. She also appeared in the film Captain Marvel as Minn-Erva ( a member of Kree). The role of Gemma Chan in this movie is still unrevealed.

The Eternals: When Coming Out?

November 6, 2020, is the release date for the movie. The film will take place after the events of Endgame. Marvel has announced that movie will be out in the theaters by November 6. The trailer is not released yet, and we can’t say anything since the film has about more than a year to be released.

Who are the Eternals in the Comics?

As per the Marvel comics, The Celestials are the extremely old overseers who come to the Earth to split its creatures into three sections: Eternals, Deviants, and Humans. The Deviants are the worst, and they are very offensive guys. They are a big threat to Humanity and the Eternals. The Eternals are made to protect the Earth from evil beings such as deviants. Deviants are very violent and unstable people with having superhuman physiology. But, the Eternals have got their own enemies as well. Eternals got a civil war in between themselves and separated into two groups one group were led by Kronos and the other one by Uranos. The Kronos(good guys) won the civil war, and then they exiled the bad guys from the Earth. The Uranos and his teammates went to the Titan and battled with the Kree. The Uranos then settled on Titan, far away from the Earth.

From the term “Titan,” you may feel familiar to it. Yes, it is the planet where we saw Thanos fighting with the Avengers in the Infinity War movie. Thanos was born on Titan, and yes he was an Eternal too. That can mean that Thanos belongs to the Uranos and his group. We may also see Thanos as the Mad Titan in the film.

Cast and Their Roles in the Film

Angelina Jolie: Thena (Extraordinarily intelligent, possess superhuman strength and healing, flight and master of hand-to-hand combat)

Richard Madden: Ikaris (Leader of Eternals, control over his physical forms, survive in extremely high temperatures, shooting heat beams with his eyes just like superman does with his eyes)

Salma Hayek: Ajak (Eternal physicals and communication to the Celestials)

Fortnite has been one of the most famous battle royale games in recent years, and with its tenth season AKA season X it has brought several changes in the game.

Epic Games have changed the challenge system in Fortnite. Now there are Limited-time Missions available, instead of old-style weekly ones. Every set of the challenge has its own theme and is unlocked within a fixed time, or after completing previous missions. The missions are available to season X Battle Pass buyers. The completion of tasks helps them reach tier 100 quickly.

Prestige Missions addition is another massive change in the latest season. After completing a set of missions, you can redo them. There will be similar requirements; however, there will be a higher level of difficulty.

Worlds Collide missions

The worlds collide missions are available for season 10.

Use a Rift

You may remember the rifts back from season 5. The rifts look like crystal and spawn on the island that carries players into the sky. There are four rifts available on the island while the fifth is available in the Loot Lake.

Where is a Rift Zone

The rift zones are a new addition to Fortnite, and they are part of the storyline too.

Until now, there are two zones:

Tilted town (Neo Tilted)

Retail Row (Mega Mall)

Deal 200 damage at Loot Lake or Viking Village

The mission says that you can complete it on any of the locations, but Epic Games tweeted that there is a problem in the Loot Lake damage tracking. So you should go to the Viking Village for this one.

Finish 3 enemies in the desert

Go to Paradise Palms for this one. Find and eliminate players. Get three of them, and you are good to go.

Find three chests at Loot Lake

A simple challenge. Search the Loot Lake for some chests. You should drop there and then search for the chests.

Search 4 rifts

You would have to visit 4 of the rifts mentioned above to complete this mission.

Finish 4 enemies at Fatal Fields or Paradise Palms

Paradise Palms being a more significant terrain would be a better choice for you to find some weapons and enemies.

Eat five foraged mushrooms in one match

Northwest of the map is abundant with mushrooms, so consuming five would be an easy task.

Locate five chests in Rift Zones

You would have to either go to Retail Row or Tilted Town for this mission. Among the two, Retail Row would be a little crowded since it is a new place, but you can build her to protect yourself. However, Tilted Town would be less crowded, but chests will not be as readily available there because you cannot build ramps there.

Locate seven chests at Loot Lake or Lucky Landing (Prestige Missions)

Dropping at these locations will increase your chances of getting the chests.

A Quiet Place Part 2: Release Date, Cast, Rumors, and More

A Quiet Place released in 2018 was one of the best movies in the horror-thriller genre for the year, and now the movie is set to return with its second part. The movie was created by John Krasinski, who is an Actor and Filmmaker by profession.

John was not too sure about the sequel until January this year. In an interview, he stated that he does not want the movie to turn in an action film where everyone blasts everything with their machine guns. He went on to praise Paramount for not jumping on any dumb plot ideas which seemed more series-oriented. John allegedly only signed up for the sequel after he came up with a concept befitting the first part. He did not reveal much, only saying that it is a small idea and befits the settings of the movie.

The filming has started

John Krasinski announced on Twitter on June 2019 that he has begun filming A Quiet Place Part 2. The fans have previously experienced dreadful sequels to horror movies like Blair Witch and A Psycho. However, with John making the film as cautiously as he claims, this one might be an exception.

The Basic Info

(Spoilers for first part ahead)

John will direct and write the movie, but he most likely will not reprise his role in this one. Lee Abbott, played by John, seemingly sacrificed himself in the first part, but there is a chance he may appear in the flashbacks.  Emily Blunt, who is John’s both real life and movie wife, will return as Evelyn, with Millicent Simmons and Noah Jupe as her kids. Millicent is deaf in the movie, which makes the dynamic much more interesting.

Release Date and Production Information

The filmmaking began this year in June with John releasing a picture from the sets on Twitter. The movie is being shot in western New York, in a small village Akron,  which makes sense as the first movie was shot there too.

The movie is set to release on March 20, 2020, which is two months earlier than its previously decided date May 2020.

The Cast

Emily Blunt –  Evelyn Abbott

Millicent Simmonds –  Regan Abbott

Noah Jupe –  Marcus Abbott

Cillian Murphy – an unknown role

Barbara Singer –  an old woman in a store

Wayne Duvall –  Roger

A Series, Not a Sequel

The movie is not supposed to be a sequel but like the second book of a series. John said that he knows that it sounds semantic, but it really is not. He said that he is not going to show the exact plot with minor changes all over again. It is kind of an exploration of getting used to survive under such circumstances.

The back-story of Monsters

How did they originate? Where did they come from? How did they take over? There is not much known about the monsters, so it is one of the best speculations, that they will be explored more in the second part. It was previously stated that John is also interested in making a prequel of the movie, showing how did the world get the way it is.

The Boys Season 2 Returns with a Huge Change from The Comics

It did not take much time for Amazon’s adaptation of The Boys to become a massive success on the Internet. The way the show presents the parallels between our society and the treatment of celebrities is attracting a lot of viewers to watch the show. After witnessing such success within a short amount of time makes it a no brainer that Amazon is planning a sequel to the show. The comic books fans should be excited about the news because it seems like more characters from the comic are going to make an appearance in the adaptation.

The story revolves around Billy Butcher who hates the superheroes and the organization which has hired them for work, Vought. He forms a group of people naming them The Boys for only one reason, eradication of the superheroes. The show does an excellent job of adapting the comic as a direct adaptation of the comics would not have been a pretty sight on the big screen. The show keeps the underlying theme of the comics intact and makes the show enjoyable for the audience. Eric Kripke, who is the director and producer of the show, has done an excellent job of adapting the show.

*Spoiler Alerts Ahead*

The post is going to contain spoilers from the show and comics, and it will also cover topics like suicide and physical assault.

Billy Butcher is the leader of The Boys with a foul mouth and reasonable charm. His viciousness and hatred towards the superheroes have a base though. In the comics, Butcher seeks revenge on the supes (superheroes) because of the death of his wife. One day as they are laying together, his wife dies when a child prematurely comes out of her. The child then goes on to attack Billy with his laser eyes. Billy handles the situation like he handles everything, with violence. Afterward, he finds out that his wife was raped and that the Homelander fathered the baby. Consequently, Billy starts to grow hatred towards the superheroes and the organization Vought.

In the show, however, Billy’s wife, Becca, is supposed to be dead. She suddenly disappears, the reason being unknown. But in the last few episodes of the series, it is revealed that Becca is alive. Both Billy and the Homelander find out about it together. The Homelander reveals that it was a consensual affair; however, it is up to the viewers to depict the scene as they think is correct. In the show, Becca survives the pregnancy and raises the superpowered child in hiding.

The show ends with Billy and Homelander fighting it out while amidst all the fighting Homelander finds Becca and his child. Vought has hidden Becca and the child away from Billy and the Homelander. Homelander meets his eight-year-old superpowered child, and Billy gets to see his wife after nearly a decade.

It is a crucial change from the comics and an interesting twist of events too, but it does not represent Becca in a good light. Billy has sought revenge against the superheroes for the sole reason that his wife was killed. This is the case in both comics and the show, but now finding out that his wife is alive has left him in a loss of words. It is something that will undoubtedly be explored in the next season.

The fans depicted this sudden random appearance as a sign of a crossover event, but as it would seem it was not meant to be taken seriously.

New iPhone 11: Release Date, Price, Specs, and More

With Samsung recently announcing their Galaxy 10, the hype revolving the phone settles there. Now the phone enthusiasts are turning their eyes towards the latest iPhone addition. The date regarding the release of the latest iPhone is approaching quickly, and we are starting to see a clear vision of what we should expect from the phone.

The rumors surrounding the latest addition to the iPhone are not pointing towards any revolutionary upgrade. Which directly translates to the same display size with identical shape, but with faster software and likely an enhanced camera. The updates like 5G, enhanced screen size or change in Lightning Connector are not going to be here until 2020 at least.

The iPhone 11 is going to be the poster boy for upcoming iOS 13, and we are fairly certain that there are going to be iPhone 11S, iPhone R and iPhone 11 S Max too. What names are given to the new models is still unknown, but it is going to be something along the line.

Camera enhancement is going to be the main upgrade this time around. The iPhone 11 is most likely to get three sensors with a slight upgrade on each model. Smart features added for charging are also rumored.

Release Dates

The possible dates regarding the new iPhone launch are like this:

The launch date for iPhone 11: September 10, 2019

The preorder date for iPhone 11: September 13, 2019

The release date for the iPhone 11: September 20, 2019

Apple most commonly uses Wednesdays as its phone launch events. With Wednesday falling on September 11, which is considered a day for mourning in the US. Apple would avoid the day and most likely release the iPhone 11 on September 10, 2019. Apple might possibly delay the launch for another week too.

The preorder usually starts from Friday onwards which would be on September 13, and as for the release September 20 is our best prediction.

The iPhone 11 price

The price for the new iPhone is most likely going to 999$, and it is certainly not going to drop. Apple’s iPhone X and iPhone XS were priced 999$ so with no significant upgrades any hike in price is not likely.

iPhone 11 or iPhone XI?

What name is Apple going to give its latest addition is still a mystery for everyone. Roman numerals may still remain, but XI succeeding XS does not make sense, so the chances of the new iPhone to be iPhone 11 are high.

What We Want

No Notch

Apple’s XS made notch a mainstream thing, but if Apple is to maintain the Face ID as secure as it is, then they should not opt for Notch, or at least go for a smaller Notch.

New Design

We certainly want a new and even better-looking design for the latest iPhone. The device could be sleeker and without any physical buttons. We want the 999$ costing phone to look just as premium as it costs.

Better Battery

This is one problem every iPhone has, and the demand we make every year. That being said, iPhone XR was one of Apple’s most extended battery life holders, so the hope is still alive for us.

With 5G coming soon we also want Apple to make phones compatible with it, or at least provide updates so that the existing users can entertain the services of 5G.
